SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,161, dated February12, 1895.

Application filed September 29,1894 Serial No. 524,423. (No model.)

T on whom it may concern):

Be it known that I, HARRY HLKELLEY, of Elyria, in the county of Lorainand Stateof Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Vapor or Gas Stove,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved vapor orgas stove, which is comparatively simple and durable in construction andarranged to utilize the heat from the burner to the fullest advantage,for cooking purposes and for heating a warming oven.

The invention consists principally of an annular heating chamber,arranged under the stove top and surrounding the burner, the saidchamber being provided at its inner wall with inlet openings for theheat.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details andcombinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter andthen pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 2 is atransverse section of the same. Fig. 3 is an inverted sectional planview of the same, on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4. is a reducedperspective view of the improvement.

The improved gas or vapor stove is provided with a stove top A, mountedon suitable legs B and formed with one or more openings A, adapted to beclosed by a ring 0 supporting a lid 0, as is plainly illustrated inFig. 1. The stove lid rings 0 are supported on a flange formed on theinner wallD' of the hollow ring D, bolted or otherwise secured to theunder side of the stove top A, and forming a con,- ducting chamber orflue the said inner wall D thereof being provided with air inletopenings D to permit heat emanating from the burner E to pass from theheating chamber through the openings D into the conducting chamberformed between the walls of ring D. p The burner E, extends centrallyunder the lids O in the center ofthe ring chamber D, and the said burneris held on the upper end of a branch pipe F connected with the gassupply pipe F, extending into the gas tank G containing a gas supply.The openings D in adapted to be opened andclosed by a band or damper H,fitted in the said chamber around part of the wall D, as plainlyindicated in Fig. 3, the said band H being provided with apertures H,adapted to register with the openings D 1 From the forward or middleportion of the band H, extends outwardly a handle H which passes througha slot in the outer wall of the ring chamber, so as to be under thecontrol of the operator, for turning the band H to open or close theopenings D as desired. The ring chamber D is formed at its rear end withan outlet D opening into a vertically disposed flue I discharging intothe bottom of a warming oven J, of any approvedconstruction, andsupported on pillars or posts J set on the stove top A. See Figs. 2 and4. A valve 1' controls the passage of the heat from the outlet D to thepipe I.

On the under side of the ring chamber D is secured the base end of aninverted funnel K, through the apex of which passes the branch pipe F,the said funnel serving to prevent a downwardmovement of the heat andalso permitting the entrance of air at its apex to the burner to, insurecombustion, the heated air passing through the openings D into thehollow ring D and from the latter to the oven J in case the valve 1' isopen.

It will be seen that by the arrangement described, the heat-from theburner E heats the lid 0 and its ring 0, and part of the heat permeatesthe hollow ring D, so as toheat that part of the stove top directlysurrounding the rings C. At the same time the heat from the hollow ringcan be passed into the oven J, to heatthe article placed therein.

The gas supply tank G is' provided with a body part G having doublewalls, and the space between thewalls is filled with water, as indicatedin Fig. 1. "A cap Gr fits between the walis to form with the wateraperfect seal for the tank. On the top of the cap G is held a handle Gadapted to be taken hold of by the operator for removing the said cap orfor pressing the latter downward, as desired. In the top of thecap' G issecured a filling nozzle L, provided at its outer end with a valve L'and with a funnel L for conveniently filling the tank with the oil,gasothe inner wall of the ring chamber D are 1 o 1. In a vapor burnerthe combination of the burner and its supply-pipe and a ring arrangedaround the burner and provided with a closed bottom and double walls theinner wall being provided with openings adapted i for the passage of thehot gases from the burner into said ring, substantially as set forth.

2. In a vapor burner the combination of the burner and its supply pipeand an open topped 2o hollow ring having an outlet and being arrangedaround the burner and provided with a closed bottom and double walls theinner wall having openings adapted for the passage of the hot gases fromthe burner into said 2 5 ring, and a stove top secured over the open topof said ring, substantially as set forth.

3. In a Vapor burner, the combination of a burner and its supply pipe, aring arranged around the burner and provided with a closed bottom anddouble walls, the inner wall being provided with openings adapted forthe passage of the hot gases from the burner into said ring, a band ordamper curved and perforated to correspond to the curvature andperforations of the inner wall of the ring and arranged in the ring, andmeansfor adjusting said band or damper, substantially as set forth.

4. In a vapor burner, the combination of a burner and its supply pipe,an open topped hollow ring having an outlet and being arranged about theburner and provided with a closed bottom and double walls, the innerWall having openings adapted for the passage of the hot gases from theburner into the said ring and being provided withan annular seat formedinteriorly in its upper part, a lid adapted to be seated on said seat,and a stove top secured over theopen top of the said ring, and having a'ceritral openingof a diameter equal to thatof the 1id,"substantially assettorth.
